Here's how Boeing’s confident travel initiative works to minimize the Covid-19 spread:
... [+]Earlier this month, I had the opportunity for a lengthy exchange with Mike Delaney, the former chief engineer of Boeing Commercial Airplane who heads the Confident Travel Initiative. Boeing is a longtime contributor to my think tank, and was eager to explain to me how effective such an effort can be.
That’s because the second layer only has to deal with the 20% that “leaks” through the first layer, and the third layer only has to deal with the 4% that leaks through the previous two layers. Twenty percent of 4% is 0.8% penetration, and remember I am assuming that none of the layers is highly effective.
First of all, it has to work with the existing equipment on jetliners, because any significant engineering changes might require a lengthy re-certification process by regulatory agencies. Second, it has to work within the tight turn times that many carriers have for getting recently arrived planes back in the air, because their business models require optimum use of capacity.
But whatever methods are used have to be thorough. Boeing is intrigued with the use of ultraviolet tools such as handheld “wands” that can kill all the pathogens in a space within seconds. It has conceptualized a lavatory that can use UV light to self-sanitize in only three seconds. It is also assessing the use of anti-microbial coatings on tray tables so they cannot host germs.
